save the bachelors

Chapter 5061 5064 [Angry out of shame]

Bilbo immediately looked embarrassed when Thranduil said this, like a child who was caught doing something bad.

"Well, I'm here to give you this." He walked into the tent and placed a cloth bag on the table, then unfolded it.

Then I saw a white gem as big as a goose egg, shining with bright light. It was crystal clear and shining, as if there was a galaxy inside it.

"Heart of the Mountain, Arkenstone!" Thranduil and Bard were both stunned at the same time.

"I knew you had picked up this gem." Xiang Nan nodded, "You didn't give it to Thorin, which was really a wise choice."

Bilbo smiled.

In fact, he originally wanted to return it to Thorin, but Thorin's greed, selfishness, and cruel side scared him, so he finally decided to hide it first.

"How did you get it?" Thranduil asked in surprise.

"I consider it one-fourteenth of my reward," Bilbo explained. "And now I give it to you. You can take it to Thorin for it, and he will no doubt agree to your terms in exchange for it."

"But why? You don't owe us anything." Bard said in surprise, and even Thranduil was shocked.

You have to know that this is the Arkenstone, the crown of gems, the king of kings, and it is priceless. Even he fell in love with it at first sight. He didn't expect Bilbo to be willing to hand it over, and not for himself.

"I didn't do this for you. I know dwarves can be stubborn, stubborn, and difficult. They are suspicious and secretive, and have the worst manners in the world," Bilbo explained. "But they are also brave, kind, and hopelessly loyal. I have grown very fond of them, and I want to save them if I can."

After hearing what he said, Xiang Nan, Bard, Gandalf and Thranduil all stood in awe of Bilbo.

……

"Have a good rest tonight and leave here early tomorrow morning." Then Gandalf instructed Bilbo.

"What, why?" Bilbo asked in confusion, "You chose me to be the fourteenth member, and I don't want to leave the expedition now."

"There is no Fellowship anymore. That is all in the past," Gandalf explained. "I don't want to know what Thorin will do when he finds out the truth."

"I am not afraid of Thorin," Bilbo shook his head.

"You should be afraid." Gandalf warned, "Don't underestimate the evil nature of gold. Gold that has been touched by evil dragons for a long time will be infected with dragon disease, and dragon disease will attack everyone who approaches the Lonely Mountain, almost everyone."

Even Thranduil and Bard may have been affected, as they were both waging war for gold and treasure.

"You, prepare a bed for this hobbit, and some food. This is what he deserves." Gandalf then instructed Alfred, "Watch him and make sure he doesn't leave without permission."

Alfred nodded.

As he was used to changing his attitude according to the situation, he could easily judge a person's strength and whether he could afford to offend him.

And in his opinion, Gandalf was the kind of person who had the power to speak, so he had to follow his orders, so that he could have a chance to live a good life by taking advantage of the situation.

……

Time soon came to dawn.

Thranduil and Bard led the human and elf armies to the gates of Erebor.

"If you move forward, I will shoot you between the eyebrows with my next arrow." Thorin shot an arrow at their feet and threatened. "Don't be nervous, we are not here to fight, but to tell you that someone has paid your debt on your behalf, and we are even now." Thranduil said loudly.

"What? I didn't pay a penny and you got nothing." Thorin was confused and asked in confusion.

"We got this." Bard took out the Arken Gem from his arms, which immediately attracted the attention of all the dwarves.

"Aken Gem?! How did it end up in your hands?" Balin asked in surprise.

"Thief, how did you get our ancestral gem?" Fili asked in surprise, "This gem should belong to the King under the Mountain."

"The King Under the Mountain can take the gem back. We come here with good intentions." Bard nodded, "As long as he shares the reward he promised us."

"Kili, you traitor, did you give the Arkenstone to them? You traitor, you really betrayed your people and your loved ones!" At this time, Thorin suddenly shouted.

"It has nothing to do with me. I'm not the one who betrayed you." Xiang Nan walked out from the army and said, "But in fact, if I really got it, I would rather not return it to you."

"How dare you say that?" Thorin shouted, "You traitor!"

"I'm not a traitor, you are the traitor." Xiang Nan said loudly, "You broke your promise and brought shame to the Duling family.

You refused to keep even your own promises, you fought for the gold, and you looked at these suffering people without showing any kindness.

Ask your conscience, how can you still be worthy of the title of 'King under the Mountain'? You are not worthy of being the King of Erebor at all."

"I will kill you!" Thorin angrily drew his bow and shot at Xiang Nan.

"Stop!" Philip shouted.

Xiang Nan was his biological brother. Even though Suo Lin was his uncle, he was not as close as a blood relative.

The bow and arrow whizzed towards Xiang Nan, as fast as a meteor.

Xiang Nan waved his hand and the arrow fell to the ground. "Humph, you can even kill your own nephew. Thorin, you are really too cold-blooded."

"I'll kill you~" Thorin drew his bow and shot an arrow again.

"Stop! It wasn't Kili who gave them the Arkenstone, it was me." At this time, Bilbo stood up and said.

"It's you, you stole my things?" Thorin said angrily when he heard it.

"I didn't steal it, I took it as one-fourteenth of my reward," Bilbo explained.

"Reward?! You thief, despicable villain, I won't give you a penny." Thorin said angrily immediately. He didn't expect that even Bilbo would betray him.

"I was going to give it to you, and I have wanted to give it to you many times, but you have changed, Thorin." Bilbo shook his head in disappointment. "The dwarf I knew in Bag End would never break his promise, nor would he question the loyalty of his confidants, nor would he shoot an arrow at his own blood."

"You dare to talk about loyalty to me? Throw him off the city wall." Thorin shouted loudly.

But Dwalin, Balin, Oin, Dori, Bofur, Fili and others just stood there, and no one took any action.

On the one hand, they have traveled so much with Bilbo that they have become his friend; on the other hand, they do not agree with Thorin's selfish, cold-blooded and profit-seeking behavior.

"Well, since you guys won't come, I'll do it myself~" As he said that, Thorin grabbed Bilbo and was about to throw him off the city wall.
